Welcome to Treemo Cannabis Dispensary
You have no items in your shopping cart.
Excellent, first class product. Perfect way to set personal dosing.
Awesome for non-smokers. A tiny bit the size of a grain of rice is alll you need just under the tongue. Full body buzz and great for pain and anxiety relief. Will buy again!
This is great for non-smokers. Just a tiny bit the size of a grain of rice under your tongue. The taste is ok, not bad. Gives you a great all-over buzz. Will buy again. Awesome for pain relief and for anxiety.
Nice minty taste which at first seems weird but the buzz that follows ensures the next hit will be soooooooooon! This is a great oil to add to my homemade mint cookies.
Loved it! Will be getting more!!
well worth the price at 25$ thx treemo
I was sceptical at first, but after I tried it I instantly love it. I only use 1mg at a time n it works great for my back. Doesn't completely make the pain go away but makes it bearable.
I used another guys suggestion and put it on Oreos. Tastes great n feels great!
Incredible product
Great price especially when buying in bulk
Thanks treemo and forever Phoenix!!!
Incredible medication
I put mine into capsules of 250mg ea and wow lovin it
Great stuff, I had no pain. Quite strong. I only gave it a 4 because I did not care for the taste, it was too strong for me. If you have chronic pain, please try it, you might like the flavour.
My favourite next to the cinnamon!
In my opinion it's worth every cent you spend. I use it for "time of the month" cramps. Amazing!! One syringe gives me a whole three days of cramp free bliss!!! And they used to have me crawling on the floor or in the fetal position.
this is great medicine and the flavor is good but i still prefer the cinnamon flavor
This stuff is potent and easy to calculate. Bought this brand before, and you certainly get enough bang for your buck.
Only had a few different brands so far, but this stuff is by far the best. I had both cinnamon and spearmint and both are great. Taste is really mild, and its thick like honey. I do a quarter syringe at a time, so it lasts me 4 hits. So for 25 bucks you can't argue at all. Hits hard. I previously had purely medicinal 200 mg cause thats all that was there at the time. only lasted one use and didn't work. Stick to Forever Phoenix!
One of my favorite products.
Love this kind. Works really well. Highly recommend.

Keep the subsidies
Under normal circumstances as a citizen I'd tend to agree. Remove the subsidies and use the RM50 billion a year to eradicate poverty, build infrastructure, schools, hospitals etc. etc. etc.
But don't know why leh? When I read about the subsidies removal debate all I could think of was, "Wah! Baarger! Another RM5o billion for them to siphon off into their Swiss bank accounts ah? No wonder they are thinking about it la!"
Am I crazy to think like that ah? What you think?

Yes you are so chi-seen! Your imagination is running riot lah! You must have faith that this saving will be the income stream for the nth economic plan. And cos PM has launched this 1Malaysia thing, the economic plan will benefit ALL Malaysians, without any discrimination. Believe lah!
- 9:29 pm
Confirmed lah. No need to second guess.
- 9:51 pm
can't blame you Pat. our thinking is all so brainwashed by the comments on the blogs that any form of sincerity is treated with suspicion and scorn. Poor BN, they are on a slippery slope to regain our trust. Do right also die, do wrong die faster. Since die anyway better do wrong lah!
- 9:56 pm
aiya uncle pat ah, we all think same same lor...they still think we suckers wor. maybe its a sign that they know next election we all gonna give them a huge erection cum on their face..hihihi
- 10:07 pm
too many holes, suddenly discover too few covers. This $50b must cover many many A*** Holes. Why not easy mah...people are stupid...people short memory...Ask them to pay more..problem solved.

You are unerringly spot on!
I wouldn't trust this regime with an extra 50 cents let alone $50 billion!!
Look at the situation in Sarawak alone - they are planning 12 dams - of which 2 are near completion) when currently Tenaga has more than 50% excess capacity and 45% of Tenaga's cost is from guaranteed take or pay contracts (with cost increase for gas etc., passed through to Tenaga) awarded by a compliant UMNO/BN Govt to the IPP's!!
More than that, the Govt of CM Taib has re-classified miliions of tons of coal reserves in Sarawak as 'renewable energy' in defiance of the rest of the World, so they can continue to pillage and plunder! Can you believe that - coal, renewable energy??!!
At this rate, by 2013 we will have nothing of our $350 million reserves left. I think that is their game plan before Pakatan comes into power - to bankrupt us!
We are all of 1 race, the Human Race
- 10:08 pm
i don't blame you, pat! cause i think the same. How not to when we know our country is run by selfish incompetent bastards!!

last dig n take as much as u can n park outside ..that is the schemes of things...last robbery ? are we going to wait n be bankrupt ?

Ya...take away subsidies and we pay higher. And then government give back these subsidies saved to big companies like SD and Measat and their favoured sons. How? Easy la....these are teh guys who regularly sign big big contracts for which they got to pay big big stamp duties. And then they ask for waiver and idiotic Finance Minister rants it. Maybe got to find out how much was the cost to the government of lost stamp duties becasue of waivers!!
- 11:08 pm
You just gotta ask yourself what happened to those billions they 'saved' those few times they raised the petrol prices. Any discernible improvements in the public transport system?
'save' .... these bargers really make me laugh la.
- 11:22 pm
1) these umno fcukers know malaysia is down to its last few ringgit.
2) this will be their last hurrah before the empty the national coffers and leave malaysia bangkrupt.
3) thanks to all umno supporters. i hope they rot in hell - both the umno fcukers and their blind supporters.
- 11:52 pm
Uncle Pat. I have the same nagging feeling too.
If the removal of subsidies would help stimulate the economy I am all game.
But we are just oh so sure where the cash would go to.
And thus my answer is a big no-no. Subsidies remain pls.
- 11:56 pm
Name me ONE person in the BN government who is actually likely to think about "saving money to provide targeted help for the lower income group and for various government infrastructure projects that would directly stimulate the economy."
I rest my case.
- 11:59 pm
- ktteokt said...
Now only the Malaysian government think of SAVING? Come on, these guys have been wasting so much RM in carrying out half-past-six project which only benefit their cronies and now only they say it's time to "tighten the belt"? Utter rubbish!
- 12:10 am
right on the dot lah. Subsidy my foot, it will go to their cronies and their account somewhere. Lost faith in the government long time ago.
- 12:18 am
These UMNO thieves are talking of using the removed subsides to uplift the quality of life for the poor....wait a minute, I knew there is something not right here!
Hardworking farmers who have toiled the land since Merdeka holding TOLs have not got those TOLs converted into freeholds. These UMNO blokes are just oozing out bullshit! Pity those unfortunate farmers were born with a wrong color of their skin......
- 12:51 am
If these joker BN/UMNO fellas couldn't do much for the poor & the so-called infrastructures when they had so much money they could roll it like Cuban cigars, what makes anyone think that they will do better with the RM50b? Brunei has had only petrolium as a natural resource, compared to Msia which was blessed with rubber, cocoa, palm oil, petrolium, tin. And yet, Brunei today does not impose personal income tax; no export, sales or manufacturing taxes. The Msia govn taxes you all the way to the toilet (yeah, wait till you get a whiff of GST), and yet these clowns have run out of money. Can't fathom the idiots who continue to vote them in.
- 1:54 am
why are they removing the damn subsidies for those important daily goods and products?
For megaprojects lagi la apa lagi? Apakah kita rakyat Malaysia benar-benar dapat mendapatkan faedah-faedah daripada projek-project mega ini?
Tak pernah saya rasai selama ini bahawa saya dan orang yang berada di sisi saya mendapat apa-apa faedah....
it just goes without saying, that the government has always been a joke... and you are not even allowed to criticize the government's actions? Why you ask? because the flers more clever than you la!! that's what they think...
according to mr joker yassin, not being loyal to the government = not being loyal to the country?
Should not it be the other way round? 1malaysia anyone?
XXX niamah la

Glad that I don't pay taxes in Malaysia. Sadly, my dad does. Will 50billion be spent equally among 1Malaysian or 1Race, we'll sit back and watch the show.
- 6:01 am
Removing subsidies will greatly affect the poor. Poor becoming poorer...
And they claimed they will use the money saved to help the poor???
Take RM10 from their right hand, and give back RM3.00 to their left???
- 7:38 am
You only have to look at the Auditor General's Annual Report to figure out whether the incumbent govt is capable of being transparent and accountable to the rakyat for the money spent.
- 7:58 am
Spot On Patrick! Since Najib & His Kakis came on board, they face only problems (legal,political,economic,racial etc.)Also,Government not much cash to spend as Bodohwi have already committed & spent in advance lah.So,desperate & have to think of all possible avenues. Tax on credit cards,remove subsidies! Just wonder what is next?
- 8:29 am
eh y u like dat ah. Govmen want to help us yet you say they want money for swiss bank. They want to help us by doing it their way cannot meh?
- 8:38 am
Uncle Patrick,
U're crazy, I'm crazy to think the same. But lets be realistic lah. RM50b is too much for them to cart away lah. They'd likely spend 40b on some idiotic good-for-nothing failed projects and cart away 10bil.
Cynthia, and what the hell is the freaking '1Malaysia thing'?! Can you please elaborate what exactly that means?! Until now, I have not actually seen anything done yet. Advertising a slogan over and over again without any visible trace of practicing it is no diferent than doing nothing!!!!!
Maybe u can enlighten us chi-seen people:
1. What is 1Malaysia?
2. What are they going to doing?
3. How can it benefit all without any discrimination?
Please make us believe what you believe because this country is in dire need to have a future to look forward to.

Let's take the BN calculation at face value RM50 billion.Let us ponder a bit. Of that amount how much is being used to subsidizes for the poor and how is being used to be given to the cronies companies?
I bet the ratio will be 1:10

you're not crazy...you're certainly right...hahahha...stupid gomen

Instead of implementing plans to move up the ladder of an initial tiger economy, our political leaders had chosen the path to plunder and cheat us of our God given heritage, oil. In the process, they corrupt every relevant government agency in order to keep themselves in power.
Can't blame the citizens for thinking this way.
BN is reaping what they sow.
- 9:27 am
Pat, i think you are blardy right ah...niamahfulat
- 9:36 am
Your thinking is definitely on the right track but your numbers need some twiddling. If RM50 billion a year from subsidy removal is made available for the lower income group and for government projects, not all RM50 billion will be siphoned off. They need to be seen to be doing something otherwise the leakage becomes too obvious. Say, 20% leakage; still comes up to a cool RM10 billion. Plenty to share around.
- 9:38 am
Patrick, my immediate response was " Tiu Nia Mah High, another RM50B gone!!??"
- 10:08 am
need not think or say more, Pat, you think what i think. malai-sia mah, apa Lan Cxxx pun boleh!!!!

Secrecy laws are not strong anymore in Europe. Most Malaysian tyrants move their money to Singapore and Australia. And Hong Kong.
Just ask Mahathir if you dont believe me.
- 10:16 am
BN, especially umNO knows that their days are numbered (counting down to the next GE). This is the last time they could plunder the wealth of the nation for personal gain.
It is important for the rural and poor people to understand the 'udang disebalik batu' of BN/umNO that disguised as Juara Rakyat. Be cautious and not be blinded by the sweet talk and some 'goodie bags'. Every 1 sen you gain from them is actually thousands that they have plundered.
I rather opt for Middle Malaysia.
- 10:24 am
While tehy are siphoning away the wealth, they try to fool the kampung folks with the 'Juara-Kampung-kacang-putih-goodie'.
Don't blame the government if you are easily happy and contented with the so-called freebies.
- 10:36 am
For sure. I bet they lay awake at night staring at the ceiling thinking "50 billion for the people. 50 billion for myself. 50 billion for the people. Screw it! 50 billion for myself, ofcourse! *shut eyelids, turn over, thump the pillow and drifts to sleep with a smile.
- 10:51 am
After pillaging and robbing the national coffers until there is nothing left, these bunch of greedy 1UMNO led by the greediest of them all 1Najib are still not satisfied with their "haram" haul (oops, not sure if I am allowed to use "haram" because it's a malay word which incidentally could be interpreted as an islamic word).
Anyway, we are suckers for more punishment and "liwat" (oops, there I go again with a possibly malay/islamic word which I am forbidden to use). Soon they will even take my underpants and my children's nappies until there is nothing left for them to take except to sell us as slaves.
Tiu Niamah to the 1BN/1UMNO government.

Actually,we rakyat hv conned by the current govt.You see they subsidised the essential goods but on the other hand they privatised all the essential services like TNB,TM,Indah Water,Highways and allow so many toll collections.So all these they take back from the people and worst there may be these scandals of proliferationg money(through these private companies) of the country money through their cronies.Another example,that is our national car project.This project suppose to bring benefits to rakyat by way of cheap cars for rakyat.But it is not.Compare this to other car making countries like Japan,USA,Germany,their domestic car price is so cheap that the people can just change new cars every 2 to 3 years.Even a non-producing country like Australia,the imported model(like Toyota,Honda)is cheap compared to our national car(same cc and based on local currency).
- 12:27 pm
wah Pat! I also think same same one! Maybe because we were educated by the same type people le. Only difference is these people are action people - don't care right or wrong; 'just do it'. We on the other hand only talk-talk type of people - think if it is right or wrong. Very sad :(
- 12:59 pm
What subsidy? I for one (ya i know, my opinion counts for nought in this bolehland), reject the term, subsidy for petrol!! Petrol comes from the tanah. The tanah belongs to the rakyat!! So what is wrong if the rakyat benefits from it? It is not as if the fuel is given out free!! So what's the big deal if fuel is sold lower than the international market rate; it is not as if :
- cars here are sold at competitive international rates.
- the rakyat here is paid at an international competitive salary scale.
- the rakyat has an efficient public transport as an alternative.
I cry for Malaysia!!!!
- 1:01 pm
Niamah! They want to scrape more money out of my food by removing the subsidy. I am already struggling to put food on the table. Removing the subsidy means more money for their cronies and less food for my children. I do not agree.
Bloody hell! Just wait till the next election.

You are bloody right, Pat. I share the same suspicious of them since the "internet" years.

The administration of President Barrack Obama is demanding a detailed explanation from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's government on the two missing F-5E jet engines and the series of arson attacks on churches and other places of worship over the last two weeks in regards to the use of the term 'Allah'.
It also quoted Wisma Putra sources as saying if Najib viewed these issues lightly then Washington could slap economic sanction on the government.
America is Malaysia's number one trading partner and in recent years is ranked among the top three foreign investors. In 2008, it was the second largest investor with investments totalling RM8.7 billion.
Any economic sanctions will have a painful effect on the country which is already suffering from a large deficit.

First the petrol price was raised during the petrol hike in 2008 to save Gov coffers - understandable
Then wanna remove subsidy from certain "undeserving" rakyat - Hmmm..
Then wanna introduce GST to gain more income and gain developed nation status - WTF??
Now wanna remove subsidy on essential items to gain MORE income - again WTF ???
My hope is these moves is to fill in the gap generated by lack of FDI and not because our country is going bankrupt...
Then again I can't help to have the same suspicion like Pat and the rest here...

Two advisers who managed $750 million have left Lebenthal Wealth Advisors to start their own firm with backing from Dynasty Financial Partners, according to a Dynasty spokeswoman.
Carrie Gallaway and Andrew Stern, former wirehouse advisers, are opening YorkBridge Wealth Partners in Bridgehampton, N.Y., and are joined by several former Lebenthal executives, including Jeffrey Lane who served as chairman of the board for Lebenthal Holdings.
Their departure is the latest blow to Lebenthal's efforts to craft its own wealth management business. Lebenthal has a long pedigree on Wall Street: It was established in 1925 and built a reputation under James Lebenthal for offering investors access to municipal bonds. The former executive, who died in 2014, was a frequently featured in TV and radio ads in the 1970s and 1980s.
Under his daughter, Alexandra, the firm opened a wealth management unit in 2013. The firm named Frank Campanale, a former executive, as CEO of the new wealth unit. The former Smith Barney and E.F. Hutton executive was set to lead efforts to recruit elite advisers.
The goal was to reach $25 billion in client assets within five years, Campanale said in an interview with On Wall Street in 2014. He said it was a conservative estimate that he intended to "blow past."
In January 2014, the firm shuttered its muni underwriting unit in order to focus more of its efforts on wealth management.
Lebenthal picked up a few large teams, such as Gallaway and Stern, and a BNY Mellon team which had managed about $600 million in client assets. But recruiting did not seem to keep pace with the firm's stated goals.
In September 2015, Campanale was replaced as CEO of Lebenthal Wealth Advisors by Ms. Lebenthal, who also serves as chief executive of the parent company, Lebenthal Holdings.
A company spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
Gallaway and Stern had been at Morgan Stanley, and its predecessor firm Smith Barney, since 1999. They joined Lebenthal in 2014, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. When they joined Lebenthal, the firm said they had overseen $1.2 billion in client assets.
A Dynasty spokesperson says that the larger figure includes institutional assets. YorkBridge is focused on high-net-worth families, she says.
The advisers now say they look forward to striking out on their own.
"We believe that launching and operating our own firm is the best path forward to ensure a superior client service model and customized solutions to meet our clients' needs," Gallaway said in a statement.
In addition to Dynasty, they've established partnerships with Schwab Advisor Services and Fidelity Institutional Services, according to a statement.
Stern said that access to these services and technologies would allow them to create a "distinctive business model."
YorkBridge will have a New York office in addition to Bridgehampton office, which is located in a well-heeled area on eastern Long Island.
Lane, the former Lebenthal executive, will serve as a partner for the new firm. He resigned from his previous employer on July 1, according to a Dynasty spokeswoman. Lane's previous executive experience also includes serving as CEO of Bear Stearns Asset Management and vice chairman of Lehman Brothers, according to Dynasty.
William Joseph, previously managing director at Lebenthal Wealth Advisors, will serve as senior managing director for YorkBridge.
Barbara Doran joins as director and senior portfolio manager. She previously held the latter title at Lebenthal Asset Management. And Leigh Moglia, now senior vice president, previously worked with Gallaway and Stern at Lebenthal, overseeing fixed income trading and financial planning.

Highly, highly recommend
Location is great. Grounds and building were both in excellent shape and clean.
Beautiful room and grounds. Perfect setting for a couples retreat
The hotel was very nice and clean. The room was adequate but had no view except roof of building next door.. The staff member that checked us in was not very courteous, maybe she was having a bad day. She took us to our room opened the door and said here you are. There is a small coffee bar in the hall just down from the room but she did not mention it. The women who cook breakfast were very friendly and the breakfast was good. The location was great and we enjoyed the quaint little town of Aiken, SC.
Great hotel bed and breakfast! Only issue (which they tell you about) is no staff after 8 PM or do.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Praise Report Schiedam Service WIN-NL, June 21 and 22, 2014 (Rihard Pasaribu)
Post date: Jun 25, 2014 10:54:00 AM
Praise Report
Worship together, Saturday, June 21, 2014
On Saturday, June 21, we hold worship together gathering in our church in Schiedam. This was a great time to worship God together and learn from each other about extravagant worship. We sang and enjoyed two songs, Unmerited favor and heart of worship. These two songs remind us about the fact that it is not what you have done that justify you before the Lord but what Jesus endured at the Cross that that made us come to worship him. Further the song titled heart of worship brings us back to put God as the center of our worship. We all have a nice time giving thanks and worshipping Him. We continued to discuss chapter I of the book written by Darlene Zcech titled Extravagant Worship. We are all blessed with this book. Just to give you some delight, chapter I of the book talk about the fact that worship is our life style where He, Jesus, becomes the center of our life. Extravagant worship in simple words means we do more than we normally do in our relationship with and worship to our beloved God. Want to know more? Come and join us next time J, i.e. The third saturday in July. We love to worship the Lord together with you and be sure that God is pleased with you today because you at least put time to read this praise report :) and we could not wait to welcome you to our worship together service. Stay blessed and stay connected. – Rihard Pasaribu –
Praise Report, Sunday Schiedam Service, June 22, 2014
Our Youth band opened our service in Schiedam on Sunday, June 22. It was great having them leading us into worship praising God. Keep it up youth…
We have three new visitors coming to join us this Sunday, for which we are grateful to God, and as always, we welcome them with typical WIN NL huggss..
This time we have three testimonies. Bro. Jan testified how blessed he was having to witness many youth publicly proclaiming their faith in front of many people in the congregation they visited as part of the baptism service they attended for their family members. Further, Bro Jan express their thanksgiving of enjoyable and blessed time together with the youth during the EO Jongerendag. Myself testify how God could arrange me easily met an important person during a conference after a few unsuccessful attempt to be in the line to met him. God could arrange the divine time and connection to each and everyone of us, so keep on your faith, the divine time will come. Sis. Revathi testified the great things God has done in her wedding. Her husband was Moslem, now Christian, and Sis. Revathi was Hindu, now Christian, are determined to follow their faith to register their marriage in their city hall. God has been helping them in arranging everything and protecting hem from the many ways people tried to stop their wedding. God has amazingly put everything in order, He protected them from harm and have given them so much joy and peace. While writing this praise report, I am thinking, we should promote this testimony to a Christian movie director, as the story truly has touched me and I am sure has blessed many people who heard this testimony. We pray that God will continue His mighty work in this young couple in their family life. Next time you will meet Sis. Revathi, do not forget to congratulate her….
Sis. Liza gave the words on loving God with all your heart. Matthew 6:21, where your treasure is, there your heart will be. It is a great verse that Sis. Liza encourages us to remember by heart. As you treasure God in your heart, our affections is made to God and that is the time you will be able to love God with all your heart.
Finally, we close our gathering with blessings and as always, good food, good talk, good laugh and good time together.
It is great to get together giving thanks to what God has done in our lives. If you have enjoyed our service, come again to enjoy and taste the love, grace and mercy of our God by corporately worshipping Him. If you miss our Service, we just would like to let you know, we miss you so much as well… You know that we pray that God will make a way for you to come and join us again. We pray that there will come a Sunday that all of us could not wait for Sunday to come so that we could enjoy the gentle holy spirit touch during our services…so stay tune, be connected and expect the good things God has in store for us. Cannot wait to see you again in our services… -- Rihard Pasaribu --
God Bless You!!

FILIPINO Romero Duno piled up another victory for the year after outpointing Juan Pablo Sanchez on Sunday (Manila time) at the Forum in Los Angeles, California.
The 21-year-old native of General Santos City beat his veteran Mexican foe via unanimous decision, winning their eight-round lightweight bout by scores of 78-74, 78-74, 78-74.
It was the third straight win for Duno this year after earlier stunning previously unbeaten Christian Gonzales with a second round knockout win and a second round TKO victory over compatriot Jason Tinampay.
Duno hiked his record to 15-1-0 with 13 KOs, the only blotch in his career coming off a loss against Russian Mikhail Alexeev in an eight-round unanimous decision last year.
The rising Filipino boxer felt good about his performance, which he was able to showcase in the undercard of the Jorge Linares-Luke Campbell battle for the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight title.
"I'm satisfied with my performance. Sanchez was a tough competitor and I respect him," said Duno. "I've learned a lot from this fight and I am going to take the lessons I've learned onto the next."
Sanchez's record now stands at 30-14, with 14 KOs.

The future is not only the time passed when age is still productive, but also need to think about the period after retirement after no longer productive. Is it too early to think about these things? Work course has not been thinking retired later? Of course the answer is no.
Preparation for retirement can not be faced within 1-2 years. Remember, you retire for example at the normal age of 55 years. While you still have life expectancy for example until the age of 70 years. So, who will finance your life from the age of 55-70 years, while you are not productive anymore?

1.Savings Soon to Have an Adequate Pension Fund
In preparing for pension funds, either through savings or investments, there is never a term too early. If you're just getting started, focus on as much savings as you can. When it comes to retirement, consider increasing your contribution to savings or by joining a social security program.
2.Calculation of Needs When Retiring Carefully
Knowing how much is needed during retirement is important. So, not only makes savings aimlessly. That way, investment is easier to do and can provide satisfactory results.
Do not forget to set the benchmark and the right plan. If necessary, use a pension calculator to help determine at what age you might retire. And how much you might need to invest and save to do so.
3.Do not Wasteful, Remember the Future is Still Long
Focus saving start today, especially if you are just beginning to prepare money for retirement. Start saving and investing as much as you can right now. Let your assets grow to make the best income possible.
Investment returns are not taken, re-invest to generate multiple income. The more you can invest when young, the better you enjoy the results later.
4.Make a Long Term Investment
Check your budget for long-term investment plans. You may need to limit some expenses by making cost savings, such as restricting outside eating habits or other expenses. On the internet there are usually many online budget worksheets and cash flow calculators that can help you determine where your money is spent and how to create a good budget.
5.Search Income Side
If the income from the current main job is perceived as inadequate for life, the solution is to find a better career and income. The other way is to look for additional jobs to supplement your income.
This side business should not interfere with the main job so you can still work professionally. Do not take incriminating side business. Just take his experience. Because later if retired, side business is still you can continue. So, do not just expenditure saved, income must also be added
Essentially, in preparing for pension funds, you also need additional money. Do not just spend it. Another practical example, if you can not increase income, this can be done. Each time you receive a raise, increase your contribution percentage to a pension preparation investment. At least half of the new allowance is allocated to the pension plan.

Don't waste your money on wine that doesn't exist!
The august Financial Times questioned the value of a major wine fund recently. It highlighted that the wine market had attracted "billions of dollars" in recent years from private investors and pension funds – attracted by promises of high returns against a generally unhappy economic background.The billions the FT was referring to went into legitimate organisations with real wine in their vaults.
But I – and many, many others – receive an almost non-stop attack from so-called wine brokers whose only purpose in life is to separate investors from their savings.
Investing in imaginary wine...
I have lost count of how many calls I have received from these so-called experts who claim to have my best interests at heart. But after so many, I can say that they mimic the legitimate funds almost word for word with the same narrative – lots of fine wine buyers with a limited supply so the prices go up. The difference is that the real funds have real wine and will be there in the future, while the people who contact me probably have no wine and definitely won't be around this time next year.
The fund that the FT questioned is real, regulated in the European Union, and there are genuine bottles of wine held in its multi-million dollar vaults. The question is how those bottles are valued. It is a problem that goes to the heart of all 'alternative' investments – anything where there is not an active market.
If you want to buy or sell shares in a FTSE-100 company, you can check its value second by second. There is a small gap between what you pay as a buyer and what you receive as a seller (plus, of course, broker fees and Stamp Duty when buying).
Wine is different. You can't find the selling or buying prices of Chateau this or Bordeaux that online – or at least you can't find reliable prices as wine dealers tend to look at their own stock and what they want to do with it.
How wine is valued
The FT raised questions over the fund because it had managed to gain in value every single month of its life – even when other wine funds hit rocky conditions. That may have been superior skill from the managers. Or it could have been a different valuation method.
Some funds use an independent valuer. This questioned fund looked at prices from auctions and a small number of wine dealers. Neither approach gives investors the certainty they might wish for. They can both be dependent on figures based on just a few bottles. So if an auction sells a case (12 bottles) of a particular vintage at say £10,000, that does not mean that the 100 cases of the same wine in a fund are worth £1 million.
It would be impossible to sell that amount at one go without dragging down the price. The same applies in shares when a seller of, say, 10 million BP or Vodafone shares knows the disposal will force the market down.
With BP or Vodafone or any other mainstream share, it would probably be a penny or so. But with the wine, it could be 20 or 30%.
All this was in my mind when Stephen phoned me. He told me he was working for a major wine dealer which had an investment fund. At times there was so much background noise – his colleagues making similar calls to other potential punters – that I had to ask him to repeat details.
It can only go up!
He promised me that the wine could only go up; that rich Chinese and Indians would only buy the finest vintages; and that my investment would be kept in a safe place. I could start with as little as £2,000 and, once I was happy with that, I could go higher. Some of his clients, he said, were investing £50,000 or £100,000. He asked if I would be happy at that level if I was confident.
"You bet," I replied. "This sounds fantastic." I was, of course, using the word "fantastic" meaning fantasy but I doubt if Stephen understood this.
The FT's questioning of the wine fund concerned the value it placed on the various bottles. But these bottles existed. The proposal I received had no details of the bottles in question or where I could inspect them. They could be non-existent (true for some wine scams) or more likely there would be a collection of Chateau Rotgut, Australian plonk, or at best, something good but dramatically over-priced.
And if you still believe that it is possible to put a value on a bottle, take a visit to your local supermarket. I recently saw a bottle of red wine at £11.99 (a bit above my pay grade). But the sticker said I could have two bottles for £12.50 - more like it! So was that worth £11.99 a bottle or £6.25?
But if there is such a discrepancy in the supermarket, just what faith could I have in Stephen's insistence that I would make a fortune?

Defrocked Seattle priest John Cornelius made headlines as one man after another came forward to accuse him of sexual abuse. Less known, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports, is the fact that Cornelius — who allegedly lavished some of his accusers and their families with cash, gifts, and vacations — diverted thousands of dollars of church money for personal expenses, according to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle.
Cornelius is one of "a significant number" of priests nationwide accused of both sexual abuse and misuse of church money. The combination is important, experts say, because many priests accused of abuse used church money to attract their victims. In more than a dozen cases investigated by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer nationwide, priests accused of sexual abuse have also been accused of stealing from the church — some were convicted and served jail time for stealing amounts upwards of $100,000. In other cases, the church either was not aware of the theft, or did not report it to the police, so the priests were not prosecuted. Many accusers have said the priests who abused them used money donated by parishioners to provide them with gifts and entertainment. They said they watched as their abusers counted the collection every week without oversight — and some said they repeatedly saw their pastor pocket cash donated by parishioners. A study commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops found that priests accused of sexually abusing children frequently lure their victims with gifts

I know—a juicy sale price on a gadget is hard to resist. But the extras associated with these items are the real killers. It's time to look beyond the tag in search of values.
Why All the Extras Are The Real Gadget Budget Killers
Trending Stories Right Now
Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 Is The Best Big Phone
Since the beginning, the big honking screens on Galaxy Note phones have been their most memorable characteristic. But as the rest of the smartphone world caught onto the jumbo display trend and screen sizes from various makers started to converge around six-inch displays, the throne on which Samsung's Note phones lorded over lesser devices just didn't have the same kind of sway. So now, the question is. What's the purpose of a big arse flagship handset in 2018, especially one that starts at pearl-clutching price of $1,499?
Bose Has A Pricey Winner With Its Sleep-Friendly Earbuds
Photo. Patrick Lucas Austin (Gizmodo) Sleeping on the weekends is rough. My apartment is across the street from a bar that grows only louder and more crowded in the height of summer, so a good Saturday night snooze is usually out of the question. Raucous drinkers, the thump of the bass from the building, and the sound of my air conditioner create a cacophony nearly impossible to ignore. I'm not a fan. But Bose thinks its "Sleepbuds," white noise masking earbuds designed to be worn during sleep, can help alleviate the issue without resorting to the tried and true noise-cancelling technology used in some of its headphones. I get the appeal, but can a $379 white noise generator jammed in my ear canal really solve my sleeping problems?

A week and a half remains to see the Morgan Library and Museum current exhibition Illuminating Fashion: Dress in the Art of Medieval France and the Netherlands. There are two important things to note about this upfront: first, that there is an online version of the exhibition that allows viewers outside of the New York City area to access the show, and second, that those who are within range will find it extremely rewarding to make the effort to view these rare and beautiful documents in person.
This text and the accompanying exhibition are largely the work of Dr. Anne H. van Buren with the assistance of Roger S. Wieck. In 1983 and 1986, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded grants of support for this project, which was initially conceived as a historical fashion study that utilized concisely dated documents, which in turn could then be used as a working chronology to assist with dating art. Research for this project ensued for almost 30 years and in 2008, close to final realization, van Burens gave three Jasper Walls lectures in the Spring of that year. Only a few months later in the Fall of 2008, she passed away unexpectedly, and it was not until 2011 that the final product of all of her extensive research and labor was finally released. The resulting catalog/reference book is an impressive tome of 431 pages, which includes a strong balance of incredibly thoughtful text and beautiful images.
The exhibition covers the time period from 1330 (the common starting date with many historians for the birth of "fashion") through the early 16th century when the influence of the Italian Renaissance and the accession of King Francis the I of France, spawned a new stylistic reference period for fashion and culture. Through the use of illuminated manuscripts and early printed books, the influence of politics and social change on fashion is witnessed, as well as the way that clothing became an important tool for artists to use when conveying messages to viewers about the character and identity of the figures portrayed in their work.
Although weighty in significance, the arrangement of the show itself is fairly straightforward. The entire exhibition is set up within one large rectangular room. Glass vitrines snake around the perimeter of the space, filled with carefully propped open books that are placed in chronological order. Neatly above on the walls, a timeline is painted that contains important political milestones within the history of France and the Netherlands, which is broken up by enlarged images from some of the featured texts. In the center of the space are two separate platforms with pairs of mannequis that are dressed in recreations of period costume executed by Corrine Roes of Atelier Mette Maelwael, Netherlands.
I did not discover the catalog until after viewing the show, and when walking around the room I was deeply impressed by the well-researched and written wall and label copy. Each manuscript had a catchy title to draw you in to reading the paragraph below, such as: Catharine of Cleves Shows Off, Jilted Suitor in a Murderous Rage, or Musicians Have Always Been Snappy Dressers, and the additional text gave a clear and interesting background behind what was happening in the story line at that point, what the historical clothes were that the figures were wearing, and what that clothing demonstrated about the time period and the character pictured. Although there were not three hour lines waiting to burst into the room, I was pleased to notice that almost everyone else who passed through the space in the few hours that I spent viewing the show also took the time and care to read all of the label and wall copy.
The eight thematic fashion time periods identified in the show are 1330-50 Fashion Revolution, which chronicles the invent of the set-in-sleeve and a new differentiation between men's and women's dress. Wasp Waists and Stuffed Shirts: 1350-90, Black Plague & the Hundred Years' Wars Impact on French Fashion, which demonstrated some influences from military garments such as the advent of the men's pourpoint, Luxury in a Time of Madness 1390-1420 that noted the decadent direction that fashion took (such as with the emergence of the Houpelande) during the reign of Charles VI while he struggled with chronic bouts of madness, The Terrible Twenties 1420's, Peacocks of the Midcentury 1430-60, Late Gothic Vertigo 1460's and 70's when the epitome of the 'gothic look' is seen, Twilight of the Middle Ages 1480-1515, a time period in which Charles VIII and Louis XII invaded Italy exposing France to Italian culture, and the Dawn of the Renaissance 1515 and Beyond.
Although the $95 price tag prevented me from purchasing the book on the spot, I spent some time going through it and it quickly recommends itself as an important costume history reference for any fashion historian. One particularly notable feature is the glossary of English and French clothing terms at the back of the book. Due to the often-frustrating nature of searching through antique documents and trying to reconcile terminology with the 19th century costume history books created after the fact, this glossary is an invaluable tool in itself. Costume terms are provided in both languages with supplementary passages from contemporaneous literature to enhance the definitions provided.
Even for those with no specific interest in Medieval clothing, I strongly encourage you to stop by the Morgan Library & Museum to pay tribute to the late Dr. Anne H. van Buren, and her meaningful and laborious contribution to the field of fashion history.
Illuminating Fashion: Dress in the Art of Medieval France and the Netherlands is on view at the Morgan Library & Museum through September 4th, 2011. For hours, admission, and directions please see the museum website.

Genre: Point-and-Click Adventure
Release date: April 1, 2016 (Windows/Mac)
The word minim derives from the Latin word minimus, meaning "least" or "smallest."
Meet some Minims: cute little creatures who resemble a kind of gourd stood on-end with two eyes at the top. The Minims is also the name of a new adventure game for Windows and Mac (previously released on iOS) by indie developer beyondthosehills.
The game's story is imaginative, well-written and touching, with some humor thrown in for good measure. There are three Minims in The Minims: Mii, his wife Mo and, briefly, Mii's Elder Minim.
One day, Mii discovers Mo has gone missing and sets out on a journey to find her. This occupies the balance of the game (which is relatively short; I knocked it off in a single afternoon).
Mii discovers that he not only needs to find Mo; he is told by his Elder Minim that he must make a choice: to follow his inner path -- which is located in his mind -- and be transformed forever, or choose to return to his old life as if nothing had happened.
Mii is also told that Mo has already made her choice. How could he choose anything but to go on? (I didn't have the heart to choose "go back," so I don't know what happens in that case). He is then teleported into his own mind, which turns out to be quite an interesting place.
During his mind-journey, Mii visits curious, unusual locations inhabited by some rather odd characters. Each one aids Mii's progress in some way; however, this being an adventure game, he's also obliged to do things for them.
During his travels, Mii must solve a variety of inventory-based puzzles. Most aren't particularly difficult, although one refused to budge for me no matter what I tried. Even the game's generous help system was of no use, and I ended up solving it by accident. I found this a tad frustrating, but it's the only trouble I had.
The developer has given point-and-click navigation an interesting twist. The game also offers 360-degree panning, and you can look up and down as well.
Even though the game is played in 3rd-person, Mii doesn't always move when you do. There are times he'll wait for you to check out an area of interest and return to him afterwards. In these cases, you're often able to shift your view around and see him standing in the distance.
The camera will also pan on its own to show you various things. I particularly enjoyed the camerawork used as Mii traverses a very long, very high bridge. It's quite cinematic.
The Minims can be played either windowed or in full-screen.
The game offers no user-initiated saves. It does let you return to the beginning of each chapter once you've played it. If you need to leave mid-chapter, you're taken back to the point at which you left the game. If you start a new game, the slate is wiped clean.
The Minims' quasi-cartoon visual style is colorful and quirky. I think it's quite appealing.
There is no spoken dialog in the game; instead, bubbles filled with text appear over characters' heads, which suits the game nicely. The music is very well-done, as are the ambient sounds.
The Minims is generally quite pleasant and relaxing to play. It has an imaginative story with characters and locations that are fanciful and charming.
If you're looking for a point-and-click adventure that's practically stress-free (albeit somewhat short), The Minims is for you. Kudos to beyondthosehills for making such a sweet, enjoyable game.
+ Great story
+ Pleasant and relaxing
+ Appealing, quasi-cartoon visual style
+ Music and ambient sounds are very well-done
- Somewhat short
- No user-initiated saves

Henderson, NV -- September 13, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Affinity Beverage Group, Inc., (hereinafter "The Company") a publicly traded company under the ticker symbol (OTC - Pink:ABVG) announced today that it has executed a letter of intent to acquire a majority interest in Artisanal Edge, LLC (hereinafter, "Artisanal"), the owner of JAWEA (www.eatjawea.com) dairy-free frozen desserts. JAWEA, (pronounced, Jah-Way-ah) launched in New York City by founder Michael Rosenthal in late 2015, is a line of delicious, all natural, vegan, gluten and soy free, coconut based "ice cream" which is currently available in 5 flavors that were inspired by adventures from across the globe. The brand is currently sold in over 250 locations in the Northeastern United States, including, Wholefoods Market, Wakefern/Shop Rite, Fairway, Bareburger as well as many other restaurants, grocery stores and specialty retailers in the New York Metro/Tri-State area. The company has also secured distribution through divisions of UNFI and Sysco, two of the country's largest food and beverage distributors.
JAWEA was created for the health-conscious, but not health-crazed consumer. Not only is it non-dairy, it also contains about half the sugar of traditional ice cream and top-quality ingredients, so you can feel good about eating ice cream again. With sales of roughly $2.6 billion in 2016, specialty frozen deserts is the #3 fastest growing category in the specialty food segment and is the most purchased category in the segment according to the Specialty Food Association.According to NIH "approxiamtely 65% of the human population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy" a staggering number that includes roughly 100 million Americans of whom 19% now purchase dairy-fee alternative products. With more and more people, especially millennials, seeking healthier and non-dairy food options, due to dietary restrictions, lactose issues etc.,people are gravitating to non-dairy based deserts, especially ice cream. In a recent New York Times article "Mark Van Buskirk, group vice president for grocery merchandising at Albertsons Companies, which operates the Safeway supermarket chain, among others, said that sales of all non-dairy products had been steadily increasing over the past two years, with packaged non-dairy ice cream leading the way (up by 50 percent over the last 12 months)".
"Everyone loves ice cream but not everyone has been able to enjoy it because there have been limited options for those who require non-dairy ice cream and are looking for great tasting non-dairy products. Mike (Rosenthal) has done a tremendous job of developing a fantastic product line that we feel fits squarely into our health and wellness platform where there are a lot of potential synergies with our other brands, projects and initiatives that we are currently pursuing. We have had a working relationship with Artisanal/Jawea as an advisor, broker and sales partner for the past year, so it is understandable why we are extremely excited about the potential of adding this line of business to our growing portfolio of health and wellness lifestyle brands. In fact we have already been working on several very unique opportunities to expand the sales and distribution footprint of the product into untapped markets that we feel could be a sweet (pun intended) spot for the brands long term growth," stated Affinity CEO, Janon Costley. The Company is completing final due diligence and anticipates setting a closing date in the very near future. More details will follow at that time. Please continue to follow Affinity Beverage for further updates.

Chocolate Molten Lava cake, one of the most chocolatey, decadent, and delicious chocolate desserts out there! I am an absolute lover of warm desserts and hot chocolate cakes, so whenever my dessert loving brother and I feel like indulging on something that gives an intense chocolate rush, I'm always excited to make these little cakes!
At times, when my brother would have his chocolate cravings even at 10 or 11 pm and nicely asks me to make something super chocolatey, I cant help but want the same thing myself. Making a whole rich chocolate cake at that time of the night is usually something that seems like too much of a hassle.So I often find myself reaching for the quick and easy molten lava cake recipe which never fails to satisfy our chocoholic cravings!
The first time I tried to search for a quick and easy recipe for the cake, I found it difficult to find one that didn't use too much butter or eggs. Using 4-5 egg yolks in addition to two whole eggs usually didn't sound too appetising to me since some of the cake is considered somewhat raw in order for it to be a 'lava cake'. So after a few trials of different recipe's I finally found one that didn't require too much butter or eggs and still tasted amazingly rich and divine! The recipe is an adaptation from my favourite chocolate book, Simple Essentials: Chocolate by Donna Hay. I also made some raspberry coulis which is always a perfect match with any chocolate dessert.
Chocolate Molten Lava Cake with Raspberry Coulis
Molten Lava Cake
- 150g dark chocolate
- 100g unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 60g caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
- pinch of salt and cinnamon
Raspberry Coulis
- 150g frozen or fresh raspberries
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 50ml water
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (350°F) and grease 4 (250ml) capacity ramekins well.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl over simmering water on a low heat, stirring until the chocolate and butter is melted and smooth
- In another bowl, place the eggs, yolks, sugar, salt, cinnamon and whisk until pale. The salt and cinnamon helps to intensify the chocolate flavour of the cake.
- Add the chocolate and flour into the egg mixture and gentry fold until you get a smooth batter.
- Spoon the batter into the ramekins and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the top of the cakes have risen. You can bake them for a longer or shorter period depending on how runny you like the center.
- Once they are baked, you can either turn them onto a plate if they are baked enough to hold their shape, or simply serve with the ramekins.
- For the raspberry coulis, place the raspberries and sugar into a non-stick saucepan over a low heat.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cornflour and water making it into a paste then add into the saucepan.
- Heat the coulis over a medium seat stirring occasionally until the raspberries have pureed and the mixture starts to bubble.
- Pass the mixture through a sieve and discard the seeds.

Megapunch romped to a nearly fourteen length victory in the MSW race going six furlongs on April 9th at Keeneland. He broke sharply and rocketed to the front over the speed favoring track to widen at every pole and absolutely demoralize the field in 1:10 flat. The time for the race was only a couple ticks slower than what the runaway winner of the Lafayette Stakes went in. Megapunch has shown lots of talent, and despite still running a little greenly in the stretch today, he absolutely dominated a strong field.
Trainer, Dallas Stewart said, "He was absolutely jumping out of his skin coming into today's race. With the way he had been running in Florida and the way this track was playing, I thought he'd run his eyeballs out. The only question you have at Keeneland is who is going to be running with you. They all come running here, and you don't know what kind of monster you might catch. Well, today we were the monster, and the other horses won't forget it. We faced some really nice horses down in Florida, and we ran right with them."
Jockey, Mark Guidry said, "This colt is one tough hombre. He was a lot easier to steer today with the new bit. He broke like a shot and just ran them off their feet."
Megapunch has one win, two seconds and a third in his four starts. He increased his earnings to $42,350.

After all, if found guilty, he faced a maximum fine of £2500 - and the poor guy only earns £150,000 a week. Still, they'd probably have let him pay it at two quid a month.
PS. Forget the slang term used by Rio Ferdinand that's caused such a stooshie.
For the benefit of folk in Scotland, can someone just remind us what a real choc ice is?
GOOD to see Andy Murray having a laugh as part of the studio audience at Mock the Week.
And, to guarantee there would be no more tears from the Wimbledon runner-up, well done to the producer for not having Gina Yashere, Zoe Lyons, Andi Osho or any other woman on last week's show.
By a curious coincidence, did you know the DVD of Roger Federer's victory in the men's final is called Mock the Weak?

In the spirit of the holiday season, some Amateur Radio (ham) operators across the country have found a way to bring joy to hospitalized children. Thanks to the world-wide range of Amateur Radio equipment, it's possible for hams to communicate with other hams almost anywhere on earth, including the North Pole. Fortunately, Santa Claus is able to take time from his busy gift production duties to speak individually to the hospitalized kids.
In southern California, members of the Hospital Disaster Support Communications System (HDSCS) annually take their portable ham sets to Childrens Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). Using the North Pole Network (NPN), which purports to use a special amateur satellite link, ionospheric propagation and VHF relays, kids can talk one-on-one to St. Nick without having to leave their hospital rooms.
The globe-spanning NPN link means that HDSCS doesn't have to rely on ordinary Santa-helpers who can only ask, "What is your name and what do you want for Christmas?" As one patient put it, we talk directly to "the Man, the real one!" During NPN contacts, Santa is in his North Pole office where he has access to his mega-computer system. Thanks to the computer and lots of advance "elf" work by hospital staff, Santa already knows which patient is in each hospital room and he has a lot of information already stored about each child and family. The NPN connection gives Santa a chance to make final updates to his gift request database before loading his sleigh on Christmas Eve. It also affords him a chance to send greetings and wishes for happiness and a return to good health.
The founder and leader of the Orange County's North Pole Network is April Moell WA6OPS. In addition to CHOC, NPN occasionally visits other Orange County medical facilities, including rehabilitation centers for both adults and children.
